This song by NORMAN BLAKE is my kind of music. I would like to learn it if someone will help with the words. I have searched the forum and DT. Jeep

WHISKEY DEAF AND WHISKEY BLIND
(Norman Blake)

Wish I's down in Florida, Florida on a hog,
'Stead of way up in ol' Georgia, boys, treated like a dog,
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind.

Seaboard train a-rollin' down that high iron seaboard line,
Gonna catch her for Dunellon to ease my worried mind,
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind.

Way down on the corner, see the big parade go by.
Wish I's in the brass band a-marchin' to the sky,
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind.

All around this country, and what do you think I see?
Lord, whiskey, dope, and women done made a wreck of me,
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind.

Cannot stand the government; cannot stand the law.
Cannot stand the dark days a-comin' on us all,
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind.

Way on down the railroad just a-walkin' on the ties,
If Beulah Land's in Florida, boys, I'll never say goodbye,
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind.

And if I die a roamin' in some distant land,
You can take me to the graveyard down in Alabam',
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind.

Now, you can take my banjo and hang it by the door,
Way down in sunny Dixie where I won't need it no more,
Whiskey deaf and whisky blind.

It's fare you well, darlin', 'way on down the line.
Fare you well forever and the days of auld lang syne,
Whiskey deaf and whiskey blind.

Stewie has missed out the fourth verse. Not surprising, I suppose, as the liner notes to the CD also omit it. I always like to take the lyrics directly from the recording. (I posted the fourth verse on the other thread).
